See all formats and editions

This comprehensive guide to ovarian cancer offers a wealth of information to ease the physical, emotional, and psychic suffering of women with the disease.

The authors - two Johns Hopkins gynecologic oncologists and a gynecologic-oncology clinical nurse - put particular emphasis on the concept of "survivorship," or living life well in the face of daunting uncertainties.

They stress the importance of self-determination: the right of each patient to be informed, involved, and in control of her care.

Up-to-date information on diagnosis and treatment, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, pain management, and alternative therapies, forms the core of the book.

But the authors' immense clinical experience also means they understand what women worry about and care about, and they address these issues with true compassion.

Stressing quality of life, self-determination, and living life to the fullest, this remarkable book speaks to women with ovarian cancer everywhere.
